Episode 3. Parable of The Chessboard and Luck

(This is a repost from April 17, 2017. I’m consolidating my podcasts onto this page of my site, so reposting the older episodes here for easy access.)

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Omerisms podcast, where I discuss, explore and debate interesting business, career and personal development topics.

This month's podcast is a  bit different from the first two, where I conducted interviews. Today's podcast features my exploration of two topics that came up over the last month in various forums and discussions I've been involved in.

The first is the Parable of the Chessboard, a fun story that speaks to the concept of growth, resources and what simple math will do for you. The second is a discussion on luck and what role it plays in our success. Are we the masters of our destiny? Or is it all down to luck?

This is a shorter podcast than my previous ones and it's a different format, so I'd love to get your feedback, questions or comments. As always, you can drop me a note on the Talk To Me page.

Enjoy the podcast!
